and only answer questions in class. Some sections may be throughly covered in class.
All of the sections are required and will be included in their corresponding exams.
Your instructor may choose to collect suggested practice problems as homework, or may not.

WeBWorK

We shall be using a newly-developed
computerized homework system called WeBWorK. You will access your WeBWorK
homework assignments through the link below or through the link on top of
this page.

Your instructor will tell you in class how to log into the system. When you work on your
homework problems, the system will tell you if your answers are correct or not.
Most of the time, you will be allowed several attempts before
electronically submitting your final answers. You will find that the system is
user friendly and forgiving. WeBWorK is designed to make learning more
convenient and efficient.
